How Uncle Sam Feeds and
Clothes His Canal Employes
Cristobal, Canal Zone, Panama.
ItVant to tell you how Uncle Bam
feeds and clothes his canal em?
ployes. When the old patriarch
undertook this bin job at Panama he
found the stores hero very poor. The
native merchants did not understand
the wants of tho Americana, and they
tried to sell us poor stuff ut high
prices. It was absolutely necessary In
the management of the canal to nave
the men well fed and well cared for,
and so Uncle Sam became murchant,
and he has established here one of the
biggest department stures of tho world.
He does not Insist that any one buy
of him, but his prices are so low and
his goods are ho good that no one
thinks of purchasing anywhero else.
The huBlncas began at the start of
our work on tho canal, and It has
now grown until It amounts to almost
j'l.HftO.noo per year. The number of
conBumers Is now about 100,000, and
this Includes the families of both the
silver and gold employes upon the canal
and the railroad. All or? practically
dependent upon the. government for
their food and clothing, which Uncle
Sum sells almost at cost. The govern?
ment brings fresh bread to their front
doors every morning, it puls away
the Ice I nthelr refrigerators, and even
supplies them with their fuel, which
It stores away under the porch.
I in I,- Sara's HI* Mercantile Hualnraa.
Huf.lie 1 lake you through tho Im?
men ie warehouses and other govern?
ment plants uf this mercantile cstab
llal ic.cnt here at Cristobal, let mc glva
you a few Items as to the extent of
the business. The sales last year tm
hrai ed more than 4.000,000 pounds of
Irtsh beef, and a quarter of a million
pounds of mutton and lamb. Tho
chickens handled In Uncle Sam's gro?
cery store numbered 400,000, and the
turkeys and du> ks one-fourth ib many.
He sold a half million pounds of bacon,
9,000,000 eggs and altogether over 3b,
000 tons of food supplies of one kind
or other. Some of the groceries ran
Into the millions of pounds. This was
so of the flour, which weighed 6,000,
000 pounds; of the rice, which weighed
2,001^000, and of evaporated and con?
densed milk, which footed up a gross
of 1,000.000 pounds.
Uncle Sam t-old last year a million
pounds of peas and besns, 700,000 cans
of tomatoes, 200,000 oi ilsh an I 68,000
rans Of pork and beans His saleB of
potatoet? aggregated 7,000,000 pounds,
and of onions more than a million.
He sold 226.000 dozen oranges, 56,ooo
? aulaloupes, 120,000 grape fruit and
about 1S.000 watermelons.
A little further on I will take you I
through his bnkery hero at Cristobal, !
where 'an year he made over 6,000,- j
00'' loaves of bread, sending out from ]
;o,ftOO to 2.r..00f> every day. We shall ;
visit hi slaundry, where '. 'roc and one- '
half million pieces of clothing were
washed last year, and go into plants
where 300,000 pounds of coffee were i
toasted, t 200,000 worth of ic<- mado
and from where more than lnft.aoo gal- ;
Ions of lee cream were shipped out
to eanal employes.
Indeed, our patriarchal uncle has In?
stitutions here big enough 10 supply }
almost every want of the Americans i
und foreigners who are employed upon!
the canal, and notwithstanding the tact,
that we are 2,000 miles from the base i
of supplies, he is satisfying these wants
at prices as low as at home, and In
some rases lower Moreover, his busl- j
n??s is not only self-supporting, but I
It pays a small profit. It Is, In fact,]

This great department store is under

"We are hot- selling them for 4

Eggs, Dritter and Cheese.
Passing through roms kept col by

themselves. They a.re of all sorts,

to others no larger aj-ound than the

only In bulk. It used to 'be that but?
ler was sent down In prints, but It
was found that It OOtrt 3 cents more
per pound to bring It that way, and
that it did not keep as well. For this
roaeion the government hoe Its own
butter-cutting machines and it cuts
and packs its own pr.nts. The butter
now tells at 42 cents a pound, and
it f smore of the grade which costs
6 cents more than that in the Startes.
Fresb Beef Tor Fanama,
I We find the chambers colder and
I coide-r as w? go on with our Journey.
Those In which the turkeys, ducks,
equals and milk-fed chickens are kept
is only twelve degrees ahove zero,
and the fowls are frozen stiff. Here
I there are fresh fish, oysters, canvas
' back and teal ducks, as well as
sweetbreads and other such things.
I take one of the chickens in my hand,
an?, pound a box with it. It Is as
sol'd as ice. and I have little difficulty
In breaking the boards.
A little further on is the -meat cool?
er, the tempera tare of which keeps
the flesh as hard aR a glacier. Im?
mense quarters of beef hang from the
racks. There n'e 70T quarters in this
single room, and this will last only
j Jive days. The beeves come in by the
j thousand a,t a shipload, and they go
j out almost ns fast, it takes more
I than 6,000 cattle a year to supply the,
I canal employes, and mbout a ton of
I pork chops are consumed every day. j
\ As to corned beef, the government
I makes its own. It has vats connected

which have a capacity of 20.00a pounds.
It takes a.bout 2.000 pounds of such
meat every day to supply the demand.

to the ice itself, that Is made in the

New Methodist Church at Altavista
(Special to The Times-Dispatch.1
AltaVista. Vn., June 15.?The above
Illustration is of the Hioad Street
Methodist Church of Altavista. It is
situated at the northwest corner of
Broad and Tenth Streets, with en?
trance to the main auditorium from
I both streets. It is built of concrete
and brick, the gables and roof being
of slate. The castellated tower Is
forty-eight feet high, and of such di?
mensions as to make it very imposing.
The main auditorium has a pit floor,
and Is 40x51 feet in dimension. The
Sunday school auditorium Is 26x28
- mm I
foot, and lending off from this room
nrc seven classrooms, five of which
arc 10x12 fent in dimension, and an?
other, the Bible class room, is l-x21
feet, nii<l the, Infant class room 12x16
feet. The two auditoriums are sep?
arated by an ashestos curtain, which
can he raised when the necessity de?
mands, thus creating an audience room
AOxVlt feet. Riving seating rapacity for
5nt( people.
The building will he heated 'bv hot
air furnace. Total cost of the build?
ing and furnishing will be over $3.
000. i
the ioe receipts for one year are moTe
Chan 1200,00).
But supposo wo fly from the poles
to tho tropics. Wo can do so by
walking from the cold storage plant
to the bakery and laundry, which are
not far away. The bakery ia ono of
the largest on earth, and everything
there is dono upon a big scale. The
dough Is kneaded by machinery In a
big iron trough. It comes out In
loaves, being cut by a dough d'vlder
which makes seventy-two loaves every
minute. One batch of dough will
make 1.S00 loaves. The ovens arc
great chambers walled with porcelain,
each of which will bake 900 one
pound loaves at a time. Altogether
they can make 25,000 loaves in one
d-y, and from 20,000 to 25,000 loaves
are now being consumed every
twenty-tour hours. The employes uf
I the bakery are both white and col?
ored, with a white man at the head.
L'ncle Sam's laundry is another big
feature of this mercantile establish?
ment. It consists of several large
halls w.h ch are filled with Jamaica
negrosses, washing and Ironing. The
clothes are passed through five wa?
ters from cold to hot, while the ma?
chinery scours out the dirt. Tho
wringing Is done by centrifugal force
in machines like those used for sugar
making, and the Ironing has the aid
of electricity. The latter work is per?
formed by negro girls who receive
from 7 to 10 cents an hour. Each has
an electric Iron fastened to a tube
over her head, and she uses an Iron?
ing board covered with whito cotton
which Is so supported that It is level
with her waist. As to the white
Fl.lrts, they pass through pressing
machines, and the collars have special
machines of their own. About 1,000,
I 000 pieces are washed and Ironed here
every year, and the annual Income of
the institution is almost S100.000.
Nevertheless the prices are low.
I,!nen coats cost 11 cents each; col?
lars, a cent and a half; drawers, 5
cents; and cuffs, 3 cents per pair. The
charge for washing a silk shirt is 10
cents; for a dress shirt, 10 cents; a
suit of pajamas, 10 cents, and for a
un'on suit, only 8 cents. The family
laundry work 's also cheap. A bed?
spread costs 10 cents; a blankot, 20
cents; and a napkin. 1 cent. You can
have a sheet washed and Ironed for .1
cents, and a towel for 1 cent. Con?
nected with the establishment Is a
pressing department) where men's
I coats, trousers and vests and ladies'
skirls and waists are cleaned and
shaped at fixed prices.
! Uncle Sam's Itetnll Store*.
What wo have seen so far might be.
called Uncle Sam's wholesae mercan?
tile establishment. It is tho ware?
house and the factory and the central
Stat'on from which all the goods are
distributed. The work of selling tho
merchandise Is done largely In retail
stores, and for this purposu the gov?
ernment has twenty-two branches,
ono at each canal centre. They cover
the principal settlement along the
Canril /.one. and are found also nt
Porto Rollo and Toro Point. In these,
stores goods are sold In exchange fop
coupons, which ran be procured by
employes from their timekeepers or
from the officers of the government
and Panama Railway on invoices. You
can buy nothing In tho stores except
with coupons. A twenty- do liar gold
piece would not buy a paper of pins,
no.- a ten-dollar hill n lead pencil. Tho
system 's all arranged on the coupon
basis, and one must enrrv his coupon
book to the store and let the clerk
take out tho checks which represent
tho amount of his purchase. These
checks range in denomination from
$1 to 1 cent, so that anything can be
exactly paid for. Tho business is
done after a rigid accounting system.
Cash registers are employed and the
salesman makes out a sales slip for
each purchase.
Tho goods are taken to tho stores
o:t tho tars from Cristobal, and there
Is a special refrigerator train every
morning which has eleven cars filled
with meats, Ico and perlahnble goods,
and ten other cars loaded with other
goods. This train starts at 4:30 every
morning, and It Is the une train which
is always On time.
In addition to tbe goods sohl In tho
stores, there is a big mall order busi?
ness. Messengers go around every
day to tho homes of the employes a'nd
take their orders, receiving coupons
therefor. These are sent into the cen?
tral offices, nnd the. goods are brought
hr.ek the next day. All the bread is
delivered at the houses, and it is so

of the Ice, meats, nncl groceries. The
wagons of the quartermaster come to
the cold storage train, and the house?
keeper has her supplies even moro
regularly and moro quickly than In
the States. No charge Is made for de?
livery.
In the Crlntonnl C'omiiilsanry.
- ou may he Interested In seeing one
of tho local stores. Take that hero at
Cristobal. It Is situated on a corner
In the heart of the town. It ia about
100 feet front by 200 feet deep, cover?
ing all told almost half an acre. En?
tering you tlnd yourself In an
establishment much like a department
store. The room Is filled with shelves
and counters, divided up Into depart?
ments, and each is devoted to one
kind of gooda.9 Here there is nothing
but hardware, over there are glass
warn and china, and father on aro
shelves filled with dry goods and no
lions.
There is one department for e.gars
and tobacco, another for drugs, and
a third for meals and groceries. The
meat branch has a cold storage room
In which three or four butchers are
kept busy cutting roasts, chops and
steaks for the customers. Hero every?
thing is sanitary. The meat is wrap?
ped up in lite cold storage chamber
and handed out through a slot.
The stores are thoroughly organ'zed.
Each has its white manager and its
white assistant storekeeper. The oth?
er clerks are mostly West Indians, be?
cause they are cheaper than the
whites, receiving only from $25 to 146 j
per month.
1 would say that I have patronized
thesu stores a great deal during my
stay on the Isthmus. Through the
commissary I have been able to buy
one of the hooks, and have made my
purchases with the coupons. 1 tlnd
tho prices much lower than those of |
the local Panama establishments, and
lit many cases they are as cheap and
cheaper than at home. There is no
question as to the prices, for thet
government publishes a full price list
every week or so. and one can tell
just what anything and everything
costs.
